Leather on leather is tricky, much more than denim on denim if you ask me. You can look either too trendy (aka a total fashion victim) or too trashy.

That's why I wanted to keep my outfit very cool and relaxed, so that I don't look like a mess, or at the very least, a fashionable one.

These leather relaxed pants were a complete surprise : I was in Galeries Lafayettes in what I thought was the Theory corner, when I saw this fabulous pair of pants. Try to imagine my surprise when I saw the price : 99 euros. I honestly thought there was some sort of mistake, so I asked the saleswoman if 990 was not the real price. She was shocked (when does anyone ask if clothes shouldn't be more expensive ?), but told me that, no, I wasn't dreaming.

As you may have guessed, the Theory corner had moved and been replaced by a new brand I had never heard of : L'art du basic. They make incredible basics at an affordable price, so I immediately bought the pants (oh, and two blazers as well...).

Mixing some affordable leather with a high end leather jacket from Acne is what I like most, because that's what my style is all about : never fussy, sophisticated but effortless at the same time !

Leather on leather can be really tricky and one can end up looking like Marlon Brando in The Wild One (don't get me wrong, I have a crush on a young Brando but my point is- we are not n showbiz :). You pulled it off perfectly- the relaxed pants and oversized knit make your outfit fabulous. Anawww.champagnegirlsabouttown.co.uk
